It's obviously ridiculous, but I was actually that impatient. I hope I learned some over the years. At least I now write with full-length words and not with abbreviations anymore.

Nt tht I 4got how tht wrks. I'm sure many here still rmbr how tht went. No time 2 spell out wrds. It bcame a secret lng of its own, like, 4 realz.
